Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a display device, and more particularly to a display panel. Background Technology
[0002] A transparent display panel is a display panel with a certain degree of transparency, allowing users to see the images displayed on it as well as the background information behind it. Transparent panels are suitable for various applications such as vending machines, car windows, and shop windows. They typically utilize liquid crystal display (LCD), organic light-emitting diode (OLED), or micro light-emitting diode (μLED) technologies.
[0003] To allow users to simultaneously receive both displayed information and background information, transparent display panels have a component placement area with low average optical transmission and a transmissive area with high average optical transmission. The component placement area is used to house the driving electrodes of the liquid crystal display or self-luminous diodes (e.g., organic light-emitting diodes or micro-light-emitting diodes) and related circuitry, while the transmissive area allows users to receive the background behind the transparent display panel. Because the circuitry divides the transmissive area into multiple smaller transmissive areas, diffraction can occur, degrading image quality. Therefore, reducing diffraction in transparent display panels while maintaining a certain level of translucency is a pressing issue that needs to be addressed. Summary of the Invention

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the average visible light transmittance of the above-mentioned penetrating region is 10% to 99%.
[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, the display panel further includes a plurality of pixel units, which are respectively disposed in the driving circuit area.
[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, each of the above-described pixel units includes a plurality of light-emitting units.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, the display panel further includes a display medium, wherein each pixel unit further includes a plurality of pixel electrodes. The pixel electrodes are electrically connected to pixel circuit elements, and the display medium is adapted to be driven by the pixel units.
[0017] Based on the above, the display panel of the present invention sets the angle between the extension direction of the trace area between adjacent driving electrode areas and its arrangement direction to be alternating positive and negative in the arrangement direction. Therefore, it can effectively reduce the diffraction intensity of first-order diffraction and high-frequency terms, thereby improving the image quality of the display panel.

[0059] Figure 1A This is a top view of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1B yes Figure 1A A magnified top view of a portion of the display panel area R1. Figure 1C yes Figure 1A A magnified top view of area R2 of the display panel.
[0060] Please refer to Figures 1A to 1C The display panel 10 includes multiple driving electrode regions 100 and multiple wiring regions 110. The multiple driving electrode regions 100 can be arranged sequentially along an arrangement direction to form a periodic array, such as the x-direction or the y-direction intersecting the x-direction. In some embodiments, the x-direction can be perpendicular to the y-direction, but this is not a limitation. The multiple wiring regions 110 are connected between the driving electrode regions 100. The multiple wiring regions 110 can distinguish between multiple gate line regions GL and multiple data line regions DL, wherein the main extension directions of the gate line regions GL and the data line regions DL are different. Each of the multiple wiring regions 110 can be provided with one or more wirings, and the material of the wirings can be, for example, metal, but this invention is not limited thereto. In other words, a wiring region 110 can be understood as the area where the wirings are located, and the distribution of the wiring regions 110 can be determined by the outline of the wirings. The wirings in the wiring regions 110 can be used to transmit signals to the corresponding driving electrode regions 100.
[0061] exist Figure 1A In the above, taking the driving electrode regions 100 arranged along a single direction (x direction or y direction) as an example, the 2n-1th trace region 110 extending from the 2n-1th driving electrode region 100 toward the 2nth driving electrode region 100 has a trace extension direction that forms a positive angle with the arrangement direction, while the 2nth trace region 110 extending from the 2nth driving electrode region 110 toward the 2n+1th driving electrode region 100 has a trace extension direction that forms a negative angle with the arrangement direction, where n is a positive integer. The 2n-1th trace region 110 and the 2nth trace region 110 are located on opposite sides of the straight connecting line of the 2n-1th driving electrode region 100, the 2nth driving electrode region 100 and the 2n+1th driving electrode region 100, respectively.
[0062] For example, the plurality of driving electrode regions 100 include driving electrode regions 101-1, 101-2, 101-3, and 101-4 arranged sequentially in the same column along the x-direction, and the plurality of trace regions 110 may include trace regions 111-x1, 111-x2, and 111-x3 arranged alternately with driving electrode regions 101-1, 101-2, 101-3, and 101-4 along the x-direction. That is, trace region 111-x1 is located between driving electrode regions 101-1 and 101-2, trace region 111-x2 is located between driving electrode regions 101-2 and 101-3, and trace region 111-x3 is located between driving electrode regions 101-3 and 101-4. In other words, routing regions 111-x1 and 111-x2 are located on opposite sides of the straight connecting lines of drive electrode regions 101-1, 101-2, and 101-3, respectively, and routing regions 111-x2 and 111-x3 are located on opposite sides of the straight connecting lines of drive electrode regions 101-2, 101-3, and 101-4, respectively. The routing lines in routing regions 111-x1, 111-x2, and 111-x3 are interconnected to serve as, for example, gate lines. Therefore, routing regions 111-x1, 111-x2, and 111-x3 can be considered as gate line regions GL1. The drive electrodes and other related circuit elements in drive electrode regions 101-1, 101-2, 101-3, and 101-4 can be connected to the routing lines in gate line region GL1 to receive gate signals. In other words, the driving electrode regions 100 arranged in the same column along the x-direction can be connected to the same gate line region GL, and the gate line region GL can be composed of multiple interconnected trace regions 110 arranged along the x-direction.
[0063] The trace region 111-x1 extending from the driving electrode region 101-1 toward the driving electrode region 101-2 has a positive angle θ with the x-direction. x1-1 The trace extension direction, the trace region 111-x2 extending from the driving electrode region 101-2 towards the driving electrode region 101-3, has a negative angle θ with the x-direction. x1-2 The routing direction is as follows, and the routing region 111-x3 extending from the driving electrode region 101-3 toward the driving electrode region 101-4 has a positive angle θ with the x-direction. x1-3 The routing direction. In this specification, "routing direction" refers to the routing area located between two drive electrode areas, extending from the initial drive electrode area towards the next drive electrode area in the alignment direction before the first bend. Furthermore, this specification defines the angle θ between the routing direction and the x-direction as... x Defined as the counterclockwise angle θ between the lines connecting adjacent driving electrode regions arranged along the x-direction. x The positive angle is the clockwise angle θ between the lines connecting adjacent driving electrode regions arranged along the x-direction. xThe included angle is negative. That is, the included angle θ is... x The sign of the symbol represents its position relative to the x-direction (the straight line connecting adjacent driving electrode regions), with the included angle θ. x The angle represents the degree of offset from the x-direction. Therefore, it can be seen that the angle θ between the trace regions 111-x1, 111-x2, and 111-x3 between adjacent driving electrode regions 101-1, 101-2, 101-3, and 101-4 and the x-direction is... x1-1 θ x1-2 θ x1-3 This setting allows for alternating positive and negative values.
[0064] In some embodiments, the included angle θ x1-1 θ x1-2 θ x1-3 The included angles can range from 5 degrees to 44 degrees, allowing for variability in the size of the light-transmitting openings formed by the wiring area without significantly increasing the resistive and capacitive load of the wiring area 110, while still maintaining good electrical performance. In some embodiments, the included angle θ x1-1 θ x1-2 θ x1-3 The angles (angle magnitudes) are basically the same, meaning that the routing directions of adjacent routing areas 111-x1 and 111-x2 are different, but routing area 111-x1 and routing area 111-x3, which is one routing area apart, have the same trend of routing direction. However, the present invention is not limited thereto; in other embodiments, the included angle θ x1-1 θ x1-2 θ x1-3 The angles can be different.
[0065] On the other hand, the plurality of driving electrode regions 100 include driving electrode regions 101-1, 102-1, 103-1, and 104-1 arranged sequentially in the same row along the y-direction, and the plurality of routing regions 110 include routing regions 111-y1, 111-y2, and 111-y3 arranged alternately with driving electrode regions 101-1, 102-1, 103-1, and 104-1 along the y-direction. That is, routing region 111-y1 is located between driving electrode regions 101-1 and 102-1, routing region 111-y2 is located between driving electrode regions 102-1 and 103-1, and routing region 111-y3 is located between driving electrode regions 103-1 and 104-1. In other words, trace areas 111-y1 and 111-y2 are located on opposite sides of the straight connecting lines of drive electrode areas 101-1, 102-1, and 103-1, respectively, and trace areas 111-y2 and 111-y3 are located on opposite sides of the straight connecting lines of drive electrode areas 102-1, 103-1, and 104-1, respectively. The traces in trace areas 111-y1, 111-y2, and 111-y3 are interconnected to serve as, for example, data lines. Therefore, trace areas 111-y1, 111-y2, and 111-y3 can be considered as data line areas DL1. The drive electrodes and other related circuit elements in drive electrode areas 101-1, 102-1, 103-1, and 104-1 can be connected to the traces in data line area DL1 to receive data signals. In other words, the drive electrode areas 100 arranged in the same row along the y direction can be connected to the same data line area DL, and the data line area DL can be composed of multiple interconnected trace areas 110 arranged along the y direction.
[0066] The trace region 111-y1 extending from the driving electrode region 101-1 toward the driving electrode region 102-1 has a negative angle θ with the y direction. y1-1 The trace extension direction, the trace region 111-y2 extending from the driving electrode region 102-1 towards the driving electrode region 103-1, has a positive angle θ with the y direction. y1-2 The trace extension direction, while the trace region 111-y3 extending from the driving electrode region 103-1 toward the driving electrode region 104-1 has a negative angle θ with the y direction. y1-3 The routing direction. This manual specifies the angle θ between the routing direction and the y-direction. y Defined as the counterclockwise angle θ between the lines connecting adjacent driving electrode regions arranged along the y-direction. y The positive angle is the clockwise angle θ between the lines connecting adjacent driving electrode regions arranged along the y-direction. y The included angle is negative. That is, the included angle θ is... y The sign of the symbol represents its position relative to the y-direction (the straight line connecting adjacent driving electrode regions), with an included angle θ. yThe angle represents the degree of offset from the y-direction. Therefore, it can be seen that the angle θ between the trace regions 111-y1, 111-y2, and 111-y3 between adjacent driving electrode regions 101-1, 102-1, 103-1, and 104-1 and the y-direction is... y1-1 θ y1-2 θ y1-3 This setting allows for alternating positive and negative values.
[0067] In some embodiments, the included angle θ y1-1 θ y1-2 θ y1-3 The included angles can range from 5 degrees to 44 degrees, allowing for variability in the size of the light-transmitting openings formed by the wiring area without significantly increasing the resistive and capacitive load of the wiring area 110, while still maintaining good electrical performance. In some embodiments, the included angle θ y1-1 θ y1-2 θ y1-3 The angles (angle magnitudes) are basically the same, meaning that the routing directions of adjacent routing areas 111-y1 and 111-y2 are different, but routing area 111-y1 and routing area 111-y3, which is one routing area apart, have the same trend of routing direction. However, the present invention is not limited thereto; in other embodiments, the included angle θ y1-1 θ y1-2 θ y1-3 The angles can be different.
[0068] In one embodiment, the angle θ between the routing direction of the routing area 110 arranged along the x-direction and the x-direction is... x The angle can be the angle θ between the extension direction of the traces in the trace area 110 arranged along the y direction and the y direction. y The angles are the same. For example, the angle θ between the extension direction of the trace region 111-x1 extending from the driving electrode region 101-1 towards the driving electrode region 101-2 and the x-direction. x1-1 The angle θ between the trace area 111-y1 extending from the self-driving electrode area 101-1 toward the driving electrode area 102-1 and the y direction. y1-1 The angles are basically the same.
[0069] In one embodiment, two adjacent gate line regions GL are symmetrical to each other, and two adjacent data line regions DL are symmetrical to each other. For example, such as... Figure 1BAs shown, gate line regions GL1 and GL2 are symmetrical about axis ax1. Gate line region GL1 includes routing regions 111-x1 and 111-x2, and gate line region GL2 includes routing regions 112-x1 and 112-x2. That is, routing regions 111-x1 and 112-x1 are symmetrical about axis ax1, and routing regions 111-x2 and 112-x2 are symmetrical about axis ax1. Similarly, data line regions DL1 and DL2 are symmetrical about axis ax2. Data line region DL1 includes routing region 111-y1, and data line region DL2 includes routing region 112-y1. That is, routing regions 111-y1 and 112-y1 are symmetrical about axis ax2.
[0070] In some embodiments, each routing area 110 may include multiple segments, and adjacent segments may have different extension directions. For example, such as Figure 1B As shown, the trace area 111-x1 includes a first segment Sx11 and a second segment Sx12 arranged sequentially in the x-direction. The first segment Sx11 and the second segment Sx12 are symmetrical to each other, for example, symmetrical about the axis ax2, but not limited thereto. The first segment Sx11 extends from the driving electrode area 101-1 along the first direction D1, and the second segment Sx12 extends from the end of the first segment Sx11 toward the driving electrode area 101-2 along the second direction D2. The first direction D1 and the second direction D2 intersect each other, and the second direction D2 is more oriented toward the driving electrode area 101-2 than the first direction D1. The first direction D1 is, for example, at a positive angle θ with the x-direction. x1-1 The direction, the second direction D2, for example, forms a negative angle θ' with the x-direction. x1-1 direction, included angle θ x1-1 Angle and included angle θ' x1-1 The angles can be the same. In other words, the trace area 111-x1 is connected from the driving electrode area 101-1 to the driving electrode area 101-2 after a bend. Since the trace areas 110 of two adjacent driving electrode areas 100 are not directly connected in a straight line, the size of the light-transmitting opening formed by the trace area can be varied, which helps to disperse the diffraction of high-frequency terms, thereby effectively reducing the diffraction intensity of high-frequency terms and improving the image quality of the display panel 10.
[0071] In some embodiments, the driving electrode region 100 and the wiring region 110 may enclose a plurality of transmittance regions 120, the average visible light transmittance of the transmittance regions 120 being 10% to 99%, while the driving electrode region 100 and the wiring region 110 have an average visible light transmittance of less than 10%. That is, the driving electrode region 100 and the wiring region 110 are non-transmittance regions compared to the transmittance regions 120. In some embodiments, a light-shielding layer (not shown) may be used to cover the edges of the wiring region 110 and / or the driving electrode region 100, so that the average visible light transmittance of the driving electrode region 100 and the wiring region 110 is less than 10%. In some embodiments, the light-shielding layer may be made of a light-shielding material such as a light-shielding resin or metal.
[0072] In some embodiments, two adjacent penetration regions 120 arranged along the arrangement direction have different geometries. For example, such as Figure 1A , Figure 1B As shown, the penetration area 121-1 enclosed by the driving electrode areas 101-1, 101-2, 102-1, 102-2 and the wiring areas 111-x1, 112-x1, 111-y1, 112-y1 has a shape similar to a convex octagon, while the penetration area 121-2 enclosed by the driving electrode areas 101-2, 101-3, 102-2, 102-3 and the wiring areas 111-x2, 112-x2, 112-y1, 113-y1 has a shape similar to a star. Figure 1A In this configuration, penetrating regions 120 with a shape resembling a convex octagon and penetrating regions 120 with a shape resembling a star are arranged alternately in the arrangement direction. In other words, two adjacent penetrating regions 120 arranged along the arrangement direction have different geometries, while penetrating regions 120 spaced apart in the arrangement direction may have the same geometries. In some embodiments, two adjacent penetrating regions 120 arranged along the arrangement direction have different areas. For example, the area of penetrating region 121-1 is larger than the area of penetrating region 121-2.
[0073] For ease of illustration, Figure 1A , Figure 1B The layout of each wiring zone is only shown schematically. However, it should be understood that multiple wirings can be installed in each wiring zone 110, such as... Figure 1C As shown. In addition, multiple traces in each trace area can be arranged side by side in the same film layer or in different film layers and may overlap each other. Multiple traces can be arranged in a concentrated manner in each trace area 110, which can help reduce the intensity of first-order diffraction caused by the trace layout and improve the average visible light transmittance of the transmission area 120.
[0074] In some embodiments, multiple traces may be disposed in the same gate line region GL and extend across the driving electrode region 100 corresponding to the same gate line region GL, overlapping with the driving electrode region 100. Additionally, traces in corresponding segments of two trace regions 110 adjacent to the same driving electrode region 100 may have the same extending direction and be on the same line. For example, such as... Figure 1C As shown, in the gate line region GL2, the second segment located in the trace region 112-x1 and the first segment located in the trace region 112-x2 are two segments adjacent to the drive electrode region 102-2. The extension direction of trace x1 in the second segment of the trace region 112-x1 is the same as the extension direction of trace x2 in the first segment of the trace region 112-x2, and they are on the same line. In some embodiments, trace x1 and trace x2 may extend toward the corresponding drive electrode region 102-2 and connect to each other to form a continuous signal line (e.g., a gate line). The components and signal lines in the drive electrode region 102-2 may be located on different layers according to circuit connection requirements to avoid unnecessary short circuits.
[0075] Similarly, multiple traces can be arranged in the same data line area DL, extending across the corresponding drive electrode area 100 of the same data line area DL and overlapping with the drive electrode area 100. Furthermore, corresponding segments of two trace areas 110 adjacent to each other on either side of the same data line area DL have the same extension direction and are on the same line. For example, such as... Figure 1C As shown, in the data line area DL2, the second segment located in trace area 112-y1 and the first segment located in trace area 112-y2 are two segments adjacent to the drive electrode area 102-2. The extension direction of trace y1 in the second segment of trace area 112-y1 is the same as the extension direction of trace y2 in the first segment of trace area 112-y2, and they are on the same line. In some embodiments, trace y1 and trace y2 may extend toward the corresponding drive electrode area 102-2 and connect to each other to form a continuous signal line (e.g., a data line). The components and data lines in the drive electrode area 102-2 may be located on different layers according to circuit connection requirements to avoid unnecessary short circuits.
[0076] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1C As shown, the projection of the driving electrode region 100 in the z-direction partially overlaps with the projection of the trace in the trace region 110 in the z-direction to expand the range of the penetration region 120, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the projection of the driving electrode region 100 in the z-direction and the projection of the trace in the trace region 110 in the z-direction may not overlap.
[0077] exist Figure 1CIn the present invention, the shape of the driving electrode area 100 is approximately L-shaped. It should be understood that the shape of the driving electrode area 100 is not limited to this. Depending on the display panel, the driving electrode area 100 may be of other geometric shapes, such as rectangular, circular, trapezoidal or other arbitrary geometric shapes.
[0078] Please refer to Figure 1C The display panel 10 may be a micro-light-emitting diode (LED) display panel, which also includes a plurality of pixel units PX1. The pixel units PX1 are respectively disposed in the driving circuit area 100, and each pixel unit PX1 may include a pixel circuit element 130 and a plurality of light-emitting units 140. For example, the pixel circuit element 130 may include a thin-film transistor, adapted to drive the plurality of light-emitting units 140. The plurality of light-emitting units 140 may include three micro-light-emitting diodes 142, 144, and 146 to emit light of different colors. For example, the micro-light-emitting diodes 142, 144, and 146 may emit blue, green, and red light, respectively, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the pixel circuit element 130 may include three pixel circuit units 132, 134, and 136 to drive the micro-light-emitting diodes 142, 144, and 146, respectively, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Micro-LEDs 142 and 144 can be arranged in the y-direction, and micro-LED 146 is located to one side of micro-LED 144 and arranged with it in the x-direction, but they can also be arranged in different ways depending on the design. In other embodiments, micro-LEDs 142, 144, and 146 can all be arranged in either the x-direction or the y-direction, making the shape of the driving electrode region 100 rectangular. Micro-LEDs 142, 144, and 146 have self-emissive characteristics and do not require an additional light source, and can receive the electrical signals and power required for light emission through the corresponding traces in the data line region DL2.
[0079] Figure 2A This is a top view of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2B yes Figure 2A This is a magnified top view of area R3 of the display panel. It must be noted here that... Figure 2A , Figure 2B The embodiments follow Figure 1A , Figure 1B The component reference numerals and partial contents of the embodiments are described below, wherein the same or similar reference numerals are used to represent the same or similar components, and descriptions of the same technical content are omitted. For explanations of the omitted parts, please refer to the foregoing embodiments, and will not be repeated here.
[0080] Please refer to Figure 2A and Figure 2BThe display panel 20 includes a plurality of driving electrode areas 100 and a plurality of trace areas 210, with the trace areas 210 connected between the driving electrode areas 100. The driving electrode areas 100 can be arranged sequentially along an arrangement direction to form a periodic array, such as the x-direction or the y-direction perpendicular to the x-direction. The (2n-1)th trace area 210 extending from the (2n-1)th driving electrode area 100 toward the 2nth driving electrode area 100 has a trace extension direction that forms a positive angle with the arrangement direction, while the 2nth trace area 210 extending from the 2nth driving electrode area 100 toward the (2n+1)th driving electrode area 100 has a trace extension direction that forms a negative angle with the arrangement direction, where n is a positive integer. For example, the angle θa between the trace regions 211-x1, 211-x2, and 211-x3 between adjacent driving electrode regions 101-1, 101-2, 101-3, and 101-4 and the x-direction. x1-1 θa x1-2 θa x1-3 This setting alternates between positive and negative values. The angle θa between the trace areas 211-y1, 211-y2, and 211-y3 between adjacent drive electrode areas 101-1, 102-1, 103-1, and 104-1 and the y-direction. y1-1 θa y1-2 θa y1-3 This setting allows for alternating positive and negative values.
[0081] Unlike the display panel 10, in this embodiment, as... Figure 2B As shown, each trace area 210 includes three segments extending in different directions. For example, trace area 211-x1 includes a first segment Sa1, a second segment Sa2, and a third segment Sa3 arranged sequentially in the x-direction. The first segment Sa1 extends from the driving electrode area 101-1 along the first direction D1', the second segment Sa2 extends from the end of the first segment Sa1 along the second direction D2', and the third segment Sa3 extends from the end of the second segment Sa2 toward the driving electrode area 101-2 along the third direction D3'. The first direction D1', the second direction D2', and the third direction D3' are different directions and intersect each other. The second direction D2' is closer to the driving electrode area 101-2 than the first direction D1', and the third direction D3' is closer to the driving electrode area 101-2 than the second direction D2'. For example, the first direction D1' forms a positive angle θa with the x-direction. x1-1 The second direction D2' is parallel to the x-direction, and the third direction D3' is at a negative angle θa' to the x-direction. x1-1 The direction, where the included angle θa x1-1 Angle and included angle θa' x1-1The angles can be the same. In other words, the trace area 211-x1 is connected to the driving electrode area 101-2 after two bends. Since the trace areas 210 of two adjacent driving electrode areas 100 are not directly connected in a straight line, the size of the light-transmitting opening formed by the trace area can be varied, which helps to disperse the diffraction of high-frequency terms, thereby effectively reducing the diffraction intensity of high-frequency terms and improving the image quality of the display panel 20.
[0082] In this embodiment, the driving electrode region 100 and the wiring region 210 can enclose multiple penetration regions 220. Adjacent penetration regions 220 arranged along the arrangement direction have different geometric shapes, and their areas are also different. For example, such as... Figure 2A , Figure 2B As shown, the penetration region 221-1, enclosed by the driving electrode regions 101-1, 101-2, 102-1, 102-2 and the wiring regions 211-x1, 212-x1, 211-y1, 212-y1, has a convex polygonal shape, while the penetration region 221-2, enclosed by the driving electrode regions 101-2, 101-3, 102-2, 102-3 and the wiring regions 211-x2, 212-x2, 212-y1, 213-y1, has a concave polygonal shape. Penetration regions 220 with the same shape as penetration region 221-1 and penetration regions 221-2 are arranged alternately in the arrangement direction, and the area of penetration region 221-1 is larger than the area of penetration region 221-2.
[0083] Figure 3 This is a top view schematic diagram of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that... Figure 3 The embodiments follow Figure 1A The component reference numerals and partial contents of the embodiments are described below, wherein the same or similar reference numerals are used to represent the same or similar components, and descriptions of the same technical content are omitted. For explanations of the omitted parts, please refer to the foregoing embodiments, and will not be repeated here.
[0084] Please refer to Figure 3The display panel 30 includes a plurality of driving electrode areas 100 and a plurality of trace areas 310, with the trace areas 310 connected between the driving electrode areas 100. The driving electrode areas 100 can be arranged sequentially along an arrangement direction to form a periodic array, such as the x-direction or the y-direction perpendicular to the x-direction. The (2n-1)th trace area 310 extending from the (2n-1)th driving electrode area 100 toward the (2n)th driving electrode area 100 has a trace extension direction that forms a positive angle with the arrangement direction, while the 2nth trace area 310 extending from the (2n)th driving electrode area 100 toward the (2n+1)th driving electrode area 100 has a trace extension direction that forms a negative angle with the arrangement direction, where n is a positive integer. For example, the angle θb between the trace regions 311-x1, 311-x2, and 311-x3 and the x-direction between adjacent drive electrode regions 101-1, 101-2, 101-3, and 101-4. x1-1 θb x1-2 θb x1-3 This setting alternates between positive and negative values. The angle θb between the trace areas 311-y1, 311-y2, and 311-y3 between adjacent drive electrode areas 101-1, 102-1, 103-1, and 104-1 and the y-direction. y1-1 θb y1-2 θb y1-3 This setting allows for alternating positive and negative values.
[0085] Unlike the display panel 10, in this embodiment, each trace area 310 includes an infinite number of segments (not shown) extending in different directions. That is, the trace area 310 is connected from the driving electrode area 101-1 to the driving electrode area 101-2 after an infinite number of bends. Because each trace area 310 includes an infinite number of segments extending in different directions, each trace area 310 has an arc-shaped shape. In some embodiments, the trace areas 310 between driving electrode areas 101-1, 102-1, 101-2, and 102-2 can extend along a circular trajectory, but in some embodiments, these trace areas 310 can have different centers of curvature. Since the trace areas 310 of two adjacent driving electrode areas 100 are not directly connected in a straight line, the size of the light-transmitting opening formed by the trace areas can be varied, which helps to disperse the diffraction of high-frequency terms, thereby effectively reducing the diffraction intensity of high-frequency terms and improving the image quality of the display panel 30.
[0086] In this embodiment, the driving electrode region 100 and the wiring region 310 can enclose multiple penetration regions 320. Adjacent penetration regions 320 arranged along the arrangement direction of the driving electrode region 100 have different geometric shapes and different areas. For example, such as... Figure 3As shown, the penetrating regions 320 and 321-2 with the same shape as the penetrating region 321-1 are arranged alternately in the arrangement direction, and the area of the penetrating region 321-1 is larger than the area of the penetrating region 321-2.
[0087] Figure 4A This is a top view of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4B yes Figure 4A This is a magnified top view of area R4 of the display panel. It must be noted here that... Figure 4A , Figure 4B The embodiments follow Figure 1A , Figure 1C The component reference numerals and partial contents of the embodiments are described below, wherein the same or similar reference numerals are used to represent the same or similar components, and descriptions of the same technical content are omitted. For explanations of the omitted parts, please refer to the foregoing embodiments, and will not be repeated here.
[0088] Please refer to Figure 4A and Figure 4B The display panel 40 includes multiple driving electrode areas 400 and multiple trace areas 110, with the trace areas 110 connected between the driving electrode areas 400. The driving electrode areas 400 can be arranged sequentially along an arrangement direction to form a periodic array, such as the x-direction or the y-direction perpendicular to the x-direction. The (2n-1)th trace area 110 extending from the (2n-1)th driving electrode area 400 toward the (2n-1)th driving electrode area 400 has a trace extension direction that forms a positive angle with the arrangement direction, while the 2nth trace area 110 extending from the (2n)th driving electrode area 400 toward the (2n+1)th driving electrode area 400 has a trace extension direction that forms a negative angle with the arrangement direction, where n is a positive integer. For example, the angle θ between the trace regions 111-x1, 111-x2, and 111-x3 between adjacent drive electrode regions 401-1, 401-2, 401-3, and 401-4 and the x-direction. x1-1 θ x1-2 θ x1-3 This setting alternates between positive and negative values. The angle θ between the trace areas 111-y1, 111-y2, and 111-y3 between adjacent drive electrode areas 401-1, 402-1, 403-1, and 404-1 and the y-direction. y1-1 θ y1-2 θ y1-3 This setting allows for alternating positive and negative values.
[0089] Unlike display panel 10, in this embodiment, display panel 40 may be an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panel, and the driving electrode area 400 is rectangular in shape. Display panel 40 includes a plurality of pixel units PX4. Pixel units PX4 are respectively disposed in driving circuit area 400, and each pixel unit PX4 may include a pixel circuit element (not shown) and a plurality of light-emitting units 440. For example, the pixel circuit element may include a thin-film transistor, adapted to drive the plurality of light-emitting units 440. The plurality of light-emitting units 440 may include three organic light-emitting diodes 442, 444, and 446 to emit light of different colors; for example, organic light-emitting diodes 442, 444, and 446 may emit red, green, and blue light, respectively, but the invention is not limited thereto. The light-emitting area of organic light-emitting diodes 442, 444, and 446 can be adjusted according to the desired light-emitting effect. For example, organic light-emitting diode 446 may have a larger light-emitting area than organic light-emitting diodes 442 and 444, but this is not a limitation. In this embodiment, organic light-emitting diodes 442 and 444 are arranged along the y-direction and located on the same side as organic light-emitting diode 446. However, the arrangement and number of organic light-emitting diodes 442, 444, and 446 are not limited to this embodiment. Organic light-emitting diodes 442, 444, and 446 have self-emissive characteristics and do not require an additional light source. They can receive the electrical signals and power required for light emission through the corresponding traces in the data line area DL2.
[0090] In this embodiment, the driving electrode region 400 and the wiring region 410 can enclose multiple penetration regions 420. Adjacent penetration regions 420 arranged along the arrangement direction of the driving electrode region 400 have different geometric shapes and different areas. For example, such as... Figure 4A As shown, the penetrating regions 420 and 421-2 with the same shape as the penetrating region 421-1 are arranged alternately in the arrangement direction, and the area of the penetrating region 421-1 is larger than the area of the penetrating region 421-2.
[0091] Figure 5A This is a top view of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5B yes Figure 5A This is a magnified top view of area R5 of the display panel. It must be noted here that... Figure 5A , Figure 5B The embodiments follow Figure 1A , Figure 1C The component reference numerals and partial contents of the embodiments are described below, wherein the same or similar reference numerals are used to represent the same or similar components, and descriptions of the same technical content are omitted. For explanations of the omitted parts, please refer to the foregoing embodiments, and will not be repeated here.
[0092] Please refer to Figure 5A The display panel 50 includes multiple driving electrode areas 500 and multiple trace areas 510, with the trace areas 510 connected between the driving electrode areas 500. The driving electrode areas 500 can be arranged sequentially along an arrangement direction to form a periodic array, such as the x-direction or the y-direction perpendicular to the x-direction. The (2n-1)th trace area 510 extending from the (2n-1)th driving electrode area 500 toward the (2n-1)th driving electrode area 500 has a trace extension direction that forms a positive angle with the arrangement direction, while the 2nth trace area 510 extending from the (2n)th driving electrode area 500 toward the (2n+1)th driving electrode area 500 has a trace extension direction that forms a negative angle with the arrangement direction, where n is a positive integer. For example, the angle θc between the trace regions 511-x1, 511-x2, and 511-x3 between adjacent drive electrode regions 501-1, 501-2, 501-3, and 501-4 and the x-direction. x1-1 θc x1-2 θc x1-3 This setting alternates between positive and negative values. The angle θc between the trace areas 511-y1, 511-y2, and 511-y3 between adjacent drive electrode areas 501-1, 502-1, 503-1, and 504-1 and the y-direction. y1-1 θc y1-2 θc y1-3 This setting allows for alternating positive and negative values.
[0093] Unlike the display panel 10, in this embodiment, each driving electrode region 500 includes separate sub-driving electrode regions. For example, driving electrode region 502-2 includes sub-driving electrode regions 502-2a and 502-2b. Pixel units disposed in driving electrode regions 502-2 may include microlight-emitting diodes 142, 144, and 146. Microlight-emitting diodes 142 and 144 may be disposed in sub-driving electrode region 502-2a, and microlight-emitting diode 146 may be disposed in sub-driving electrode region 502-2b, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0094] In this embodiment, the display panel 50 further includes intermediate wiring areas m1 and m2, which are connected between adjacent wiring areas 510 and arranged side by side with the driving electrode area 500. The intermediate wiring areas m1 and m2 can extend along the x-direction or the y-direction, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Specifically, multiple wirings can be arranged in the same gate line area GL. The wirings in corresponding segments of two wiring areas 510 adjacent to the same driving electrode area 500 can have the same extension direction but are not on the same line. The intermediate wiring of the intermediate wiring area m1 can connect the wirings in corresponding segments of two wiring areas 510 adjacent to the same driving electrode area 500 and arrange them on one side of the driving electrode area 500 without overlapping the driving electrode area 500.
[0095] For example, such as Figure 5B As shown, in the gate line region GL2, the second segment located in the trace region 512-x1 and the first segment located in the trace region 512-x2 are two segments adjacent to the drive electrode region 502-2. The extension direction of trace x1' in the second segment of the trace region 512-x1 is the same as the extension direction of trace x2' in the first segment of the trace region 512-x2, but they are not on the same line. The intermediate trace Sh of the intermediate trace region m1 is a trace extending along the x-direction, which connects trace x1' and trace x2' to form a continuous signal line (e.g., a gate line). In other words, the gate line region GL2 may include the trace regions 512-x1, 512-x2 and the intermediate trace region m1 connected between the trace regions 512-x1 and 512-x2. The intermediate trace Sh is arranged below the sub-driving electrode regions 502-2a and 502-2b, and does not overlap with the sub-driving electrode regions 502-2a and 502-2b.
[0096] Similarly, multiple traces can be set in the same data line area DL. The corresponding segments of two trace areas 510 adjacent to each other on both sides of the same data line area DL have the same extension direction but are not on the same line. The middle trace of the middle trace area m2 can connect the traces in the corresponding segments of the two trace areas 510 adjacent to each other on both sides of the same drive electrode area 500, and arrange them on one side of the drive electrode area 500 but without overlapping the drive electrode area 500.
[0097] For example, such as Figure 5BAs shown, in the data line area DL2, the second segment located in the trace area 512-y1 and the first segment located in the trace area 512-y2 are two segments adjacent to the drive electrode area 502-2. The extension direction of trace y1' in the second segment of trace area 512-y1 is the same as the extension direction of trace y2' in the first segment of trace area 512-y2, but they are not on the same line. The intermediate trace Sv of the intermediate trace area m2 is a trace extending along the y-direction, which connects trace y1' and trace y2' to form a continuous signal line (e.g., a data line). In other words, the data line area DL2 may include trace areas 512-y1, 512-y2, and the intermediate trace area m2 connecting trace areas 512-y1 and 512-y2. The intermediate trace Sv is arranged between the sub-driving electrode areas 502-2a and 502-2b, and does not overlap with the sub-driving electrode areas 502-2a and 502-2b. In this embodiment, the projection of the driving electrode area 500 in the z-direction does not overlap with the projection of the trace in the z-direction of the trace area 510. For example, the sub-driving electrode areas 502-2a and 502-2b are separated by the data line area DL2. The lower edge of the sub-driving electrode area 502-2a can be close to the upper edge of the intermediate trace area m1, and the right edge of the sub-driving electrode area 502-2a can be close to the left edge of the intermediate trace area m2. The lower edge of the sub-driving electrode area 502-2b can be close to the upper edge of the intermediate trace area m1, and the left edge of the sub-driving electrode area 502-2b can be close to the right edge of the intermediate trace area m2.
[0098] In this embodiment, the driving electrode region 500 and the wiring region 510 can enclose multiple penetration regions 520. Adjacent penetration regions 520 arranged along the arrangement direction of the driving electrode region 500 have different geometric shapes and different areas. For example, such as... Figure 5A As shown, the penetrating regions 520 and 521-2 with the same shape as the penetrating region 521-1 are arranged alternately in the arrangement direction, and the area of the penetrating region 521-1 is larger than the area of the penetrating region 521-2.

It must be noted here that... Figure 6A , Figure 6B The embodiments follow Figure 1A , Figure 1C The component reference numerals and partial contents of the embodiments are described below, wherein the same or similar reference numerals are used to represent the same or similar components, and descriptions of the same technical content are omitted. For explanations of the omitted parts, please refer to the foregoing embodiments, and will not be repeated here.
[0100] Please refer to Figure 6A and Figure 6B The display panel 60 includes multiple driving electrode areas 600 and multiple trace areas 610, with the trace areas 610 connected between the driving electrode areas 600. The driving electrode areas 600 can be arranged sequentially along an arrangement direction to form a periodic array, such as the x-direction or the y-direction perpendicular to the x-direction. The (2n-1)th trace area 610 extending from the (2n-1)th driving electrode area 600 toward the (2n)th driving electrode area 600 has a trace extension direction that forms a positive angle with the arrangement direction, while the 2nth trace area 610 extending from the (2n)th driving electrode area 600 toward the (2n+1)th driving electrode area 600 has a trace extension direction that forms a negative angle with the arrangement direction, where n is a positive integer. For example, the angle θd between the trace regions 611-x1, 611-x2, and 611-x3 between adjacent driving electrode regions 601-1, 601-2, 601-3, and 601-4 and the x-direction. x1-1 θd x1-2 θd x1-3 This setting alternates between positive and negative values. The angle θd between the trace areas 611-y1, 611-y2, and 611-y3 between adjacent drive electrode areas 601-1, 602-1, 603-1, and 604-1 and the y-direction. y1-1 θd y1-2 θd y1-3 This setting allows for alternating positive and negative values.
[0101] Unlike the display panel 10, in this embodiment, multiple traces can be arranged in the same gate line region GL. The traces in corresponding segments of two trace regions 610 adjacent to the same driving electrode region 600 can have the same extension direction but are not on the same line. The middle trace of the middle trace region m1' can connect the traces in corresponding segments of the two trace regions 610 adjacent to the same driving electrode region 600 and arrange them on one side of the driving electrode region 600 but without overlapping the driving electrode region 600.
[0102] For example, such as Figure 6BAs shown, in the gate line region GL2, the second segment located in the trace region 612-x1 and the first segment located in the trace region 612-x2 are two segments adjacent to the drive electrode region 602-2. The extension direction of trace x1'' in the second segment of the trace region 612-x1 and the extension direction of trace x2'' in the first segment of the trace region 612-x2 may be approximately the same, but not on the same line. The intermediate trace Sh' of the intermediate trace region m1' is a trace extending along the x-direction, which connects trace x1'' and trace x2'' to form a continuous signal line (e.g., a gate line). In other words, the gate line region GL2 may include trace regions 612-x1, 612-x2 and the intermediate trace region m1' connecting trace regions 612-x1 and 612-x2. The intermediate trace Sh' is arranged on the lower side of the driving electrode area 602-2 and does not overlap with the driving electrode area 602-2.
[0103] Similarly, multiple traces can be set in the same data line area DL. The corresponding segments of two trace areas 610 on both sides of the same data line area DL have the same extension direction but are not on the same line. The middle trace of the middle trace area m2' can connect the traces in the corresponding segments of the two trace areas 610 on both sides of the same drive electrode area 600, and arrange them on one side of the drive electrode area 600 but without overlapping the drive electrode area 600.
[0104] For example, such as Figure 6B As shown, in the data line area DL2, the second segment located in the trace area 612-y1 and the first segment located in the trace area 612-y2 are two segments adjacent to the drive electrode area 602-2. The extension direction of trace y1'' in the second segment of the trace area 612-y1 is the same as the extension direction of trace y2'' in the first segment of the trace area 612-y2, but they are not on the same line. The intermediate trace Sv' of the intermediate trace area m2' is a trace extending along the y-direction, which connects trace y1'' and trace y2'' to form a continuous signal line (e.g., a data line). In other words, the data line area DL2 may include trace areas 612-y1, 612-y2, and the intermediate trace area m2' connecting trace areas 612-y1 and 612-y2. The intermediate trace Sv' is arranged on the left side of the drive electrode area 602-2 and does not overlap the drive electrode area 602-2.
[0105] In this embodiment, the projection of the driving electrode region 600 in the z-direction does not overlap with the projection of the trace in the z-direction of the trace in the trace region 610. For example, the lower edge of the driving electrode region 602-2 may be close to the upper edge of the intermediate trace region m1', and the left edge of the driving electrode region 602-2 may be close to the right edge of the intermediate trace region m2'.
[0106] In this embodiment, the display panel 60 may be implemented by sandwiching the display medium between two substrates. However, since both substrates and the display medium are stacked in the Z direction, the two substrates and the display medium are not shown in the figure. In some embodiments, the display panel 60 further includes a pixel unit PX6, and the pixel unit PX6 includes a pixel circuit element 630 and a corresponding plurality of pixel electrodes 640 (e.g., pixel electrodes 642, 644, 646). In some embodiments, the display medium of the display panel 60 is, for example, a liquid crystal material, which is driven by the pixel unit PX6 to achieve the display function. The pixel unit PX6 may be disposed in the driving electrode region 600, and the shape of the driving electrode region 600 may be, for example, rectangular, but is not limited thereto. The pixel circuit element 630 is, for example, a thin-film transistor and is electrically connected to the corresponding plurality of pixel electrodes 640.
[0107] In this embodiment, the driving electrode region 600 and the wiring region 610 can enclose multiple penetration regions 620. Adjacent penetration regions 620 arranged along the arrangement direction of the driving electrode region 600 have different geometric shapes and different areas. For example, such as... Figure 6A As shown, the penetrating regions 620 and 620 with the same shape as the penetrating region 621-1 are arranged alternately in the arrangement direction, and the area of the penetrating region 621-1 is larger than the area of the penetrating region 621-2.
[0108] In summary, the display panel of the present invention sets the angle between the extension direction of the trace area between adjacent driving electrode areas and its arrangement direction to be alternating positive and negative in the arrangement direction, which can effectively reduce the diffraction intensity of first-order diffraction and high-frequency terms, thereby improving the image quality of the display panel.
